Case.

Decision i'm the g swamp Angelo
Case.
PORTLAND, November THE case
of the United States against G. Owen,
better known as the "Swamp Angel, !"
VIM. Bornhardt and P. 7. Ankeney,
was heard to-day in the United States
District Court on a demurrer to the
Indictment. The defendant is charged
with conspiring to defraud the Gov
ernment out OF vast tract of swamp
land. The Court held that the
indictment was barred by the
statute OF limitations. Ankeney
was government agent who was bull
led by the other defendants. He has
never been arrested and is said to be
in Florida. This clears Owen from
further prosecution but d great portion
of the land he bought has been de-
cided to be not swamp lands. Barn
hardt is under an Indictment for for
gerry OF swamp certificates on eighteen
counts.

When asked what the effect of the
finding of the bombs in Lingg's cell
would have, Mr.. Dixon said: "The
effect so far. produced is depiorable
and the delegation which is in this
city tonight would be ten times as
large as it is, had not this matter been
published broadcast"
LINGG's PROSPECTS DAMAGED.
don't know whether it is really
sure that the bombs were secreted in
in the cell by Lingg, but can say
this, that if it is proven beyond doubt
after further investigation that the
bombs were there with his procure
ment, none can conscientiously ask
clemency for him. If Lingg
wanted to insure the hanging
of himself and all his comrades he
could not have done a more likely
thing to attain that end than to Sc
crete the bombs, as he is alleged to
have DONE" Mr.. Dixon asserts that
if he believed the bombs were placed
in the cell by Lingg, with the full
knowledge and consent of his COM
rades, he would never present petit
ton to the Governor in their behalf.
TROOPS ORDERED OUT.
Great excitement was occasioned
here tonight by the announcement
that Assistant Adjntant General
Ewart had notified two companies of
State militia belonging here to be in
rooIipooo fA occa,nI1o for covxyico
Men in military uniforms were OH the
streets, but when questioned simply
said they had been notified to be
ready to respond to the signal. 1t is
not known now what the object of the
order is or whether the troops are to
sent. The belief is generally preva-
lent, however, that they are to be or
derad to Chicago.

Hon. d. W. Smith, President of the
Illinois National Bank, said: would
not be surprised if the Governor COM
mutes the sentence OF two or three OF

clear to do it. He is a very kind man.
There is no doubt that there are diff

COMMUNITY PROPERTY.
New York Law Relating To 1t Not
Applicable In California.

SAN FRANCIsco, November THE
Supreme Court to-day affirmed the
decision of the lower court in the case
OF Mrs. Bessie Stewart, who contested
the will OF her deceased husband,
Frank Stewart, of Stockton. He
bequeathed his wife one-half his
estate, valued at 100000. The
widow, however, claimed three
quarters of the estate, on the ground
that it being community property,
she was entitled to one-half the whole
estate and one-half of her husbands
share. The decision Of the Supreme
Court holds that the law of New } ork
in regard to community property does
not apply to estates in California, and
that the testator had a right to dis
pose of the estate as he saw fit.

PArrERsoNvILLE, La, November 7.
Trouble has been threatening in this
neighborhood for some time past.
The negroes have been talking freely
of burning the town of Patterson. 1t
is stated that one who is now pris-
oner made full confession of the
plot to burn the town, which was to
have been carried into effect Saturday
night.
THE AUTHORITIES DETERMINED.
The shooting and wounding OF four
white men ON Phairs' plantation Fri
day decided the authorities here to
institute search for arms In town,
and at the same time to arrest several
men who had made themselves most
conspicuous by the loudness OF their
threats. Troops were quartered on a
steamboat lying about a mile from
town.
ARRIVAL OF THE RANGERS.
From there Saturday, between
and O'Clock, the Attakapas rangers,
together with a posse OF citizens,
moved on the town.
At the entrance to the town stand
two cottages, one on the right occu-
pied by a white man named Hubbert,
and that on the left by colored people.
Here, as the troops approached, they
found a crowd OF from fifty to one
hundred negroes assembled. The
crowd was ordered to disperse, and
some of the members of the mob
left. while others remained and as
sumed
A DEFENSIVE ATTITUDE.
One negro, of a notorious character,
threw his hand behind him as if to
draw his pistol, and then a regular
fusilade was opened upon the negroes
by the Sheriff's possee, and four Of
them were shot dead. One was very
seriously wounded and boy is also
said to have been shot. The Sheriff
withdrew as soon as the firing began.
AFTER THE AFFRAY
The troops marched through the town
and many of the negroes retired to the
woods. The dead were buried yester-
day by the troops. The town was
guarded and patrolled by cavalry and
infantry last night. 1t is impossible
to move in any direction without be-
ing questioned.

Successful Appeal I'm N southern
California Case.
SAN Francisco, November The
Supreme Court to-day reversed the
Judgment OF the Superior Court of San
Bernardino county in the case OF the
People VS.. Scott, in which the defend
ant was convicted of burglary in
stealing some articles from house in
Indio. The judgment was reversed
on the ground that the offense was
committed in San Diego county.
SYNOPSIS OF THE DECISION.
In cases OF larceny it was not neces-
sary, when the facts really showed
that the property was stolen in a dlt-
ferent county from that in which the
trial is held, to state them. because
in law a thief is supposed to have
committed the act in the county where
he is arrested. But in the cases OF
burglary, while criminal may be
tried in another county where he hap
pens to be arrested, still the informa-
ton or indictment must truly state
where the crime actually was COM
mitted.
